mentionwell-cli

CLI for Mentionwell. Browser-based login, full API control over every site/post/headline/image, framework auto-wire, and end-to-end webhook verification. Pair it with the MCP server to drive Mentionwell from Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT.

Always invoke the CLI with npx mentionwell-cli@latest. That guarantees you get the newest commands and bugfixes without managing a global install. Every example in these docs uses npx. If you'd rather install once with npm i -g mentionwell-cli, drop the prefix and use mentionwell ….

Quick start

New to Mentionwell? Two commands take you from nothing to a first article:

# Sign up (or sign in) in the browser; the token is saved on this machine:
npx mentionwell-cli@latest login

# Scan your site, plan articles, and start writing the first one:
npx mentionwell-cli@latest onboard yoursite.com

Already set up:

# Authorize the CLI on this machine (browser device flow):
npx mentionwell-cli@latest login

# Pick which site to work on:
npx mentionwell-cli@latest sites list
npx mentionwell-cli@latest use <slug>

# See the world:
npx mentionwell-cli@latest whoami
npx mentionwell-cli@latest dashboard
npx mentionwell-cli@latest posts list

Connect a destination repo

# In the repo you want to wire up to Mentionwell:
npx mentionwell-cli@latest init      # detects Next.js / Astro / Nuxt / SvelteKit / Remix
# paste real keys into .env.local from app.mentionwell.com/sites/<slug>/integration
npx mentionwell-cli@latest verify    # confirms read auth + signed webhook ping

init writes the framework's webhook route with raw-body HMAC verification and timing-safe signature comparison, then verify sends a signed ping so you can catch bad env vars before publishing.

  Anything in the API that isn't yet wrapped — and any future endpoint — is reachable through this one command.

Auth model

login opens your browser, authorizes the CLI on app.mentionwell.com, and saves a personal access token to ~/.config/mentionwell/auth.json (chmod 600). Multiple profiles supported via MENTIONWELL_PROFILE. CI/scripts can skip the browser flow with MENTIONWELL_TOKEN=mw_pat_…. MENTIONWELL_API_KEY remains reserved for the destination site's read-only mw_read_… key.

Interactive login requests the standard CLI scope set by default: sites:read, sites:write, articles:read, citations:read, scans:read, sov:read, and bot-crawls:read. Pass --scopes a,b only when you want a narrower token.

MCP parity

Every CLI command is exposed via the MCP server in packages/mcp-account so Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT can drive Mentionwell with the exact same surface and the exact same auth (personal access tokens). If a thing works in the CLI, it works in MCP.
